Fact
1
He was a studio executive who was also a founder and chairman of the National Film Preservation Foundation. This entity has helped archivists save and restore hundreds of newsreels, documentaries, silent movies, avant-garde presentations and other "orphan" films. He also was a member of the National Film Preservation Board of the Library of Congress.
2
He was not related to MGM chief Louis B. Mayer. But he worked for MGM from 1961 to 1986, joining as assistant general manager of its studios. He persuaded his bosses to pay for refrigerated film-storage facilities and to establish a film preservation program, even though there was little commercial reason to do so in an era before home video and cable TV.
3
He received a bachelor's degree from Yale University, where he also graduated from law school.
